Tinting Tails

This might be a stupid question but I'm gonna tint my tails this weekend and was wondering if it's best to do the inside or outside. If the answer is inside how much trouble is it to take lens off. If it's outside how difficult is it to remove from truck.

 

It's done on the outside.

 

Do the lights come out or just have to tape it all off

 

You can take them out. Here's a writeup on the whole process, including tinting:

I did the inside... why would you do the outside?

I did the inside because it can't get scratched off, and it tints and you can't see the paint. I also used black spray paint not night shades and it worked great, just a light coat to make them darker, remember to tape off the reverse light.

 

I've never done it on mine (and wouldn't). Any I've seen done on here do the outside. My guess is it's difficult to get the lens off without breaking the lens.

 

ahh I see, I have a 1st gen, it's only 4 screws on each side

 

I'ts best to do the inside on a 1st get Taco and outside on the 2nd gen. 1st gen lights can come apart faily easily...2nd gen is pure trouble.

He'res the thread from when I did mine:

Why bother ? Ijust don"t se the point in tinting tail light's,they are for visibility(to be seen)Waste of time and really don't look that good anyway JMO carry on.

 

Check your laws, but I know in Pa it's illegal to tint over the plastic that covers the bulb.

 

All I did was warken mine a bit, you can't tell it's tinted, but it looks nicer.

you can see them just as well in the day or night, so why not? just separating my truck from joe blow down the road.
